What Your Girlfriend Wants You to Wear

A large part of the reason we try to look good is to impress the fairer sex. So it couldn’t hurt every once in a while to get a woman’s perspective on the clothing and accessories she’d prefer. We turned to our friends at Style Girlfriend to do just that. Here are the new pieces Brittany Hammonds, the site’s online editor, is liking right now.

It was on a third date that I saw my cocktail companion reach into his pocket and pull out a tattered lanyard heavy with keys and – presumably – souvenir keychains. I get it. It’s a utilitarian measure that likely prevents a pricey locksmith situation, but there are definitely more grown-up (and sleek) options. This geometric gold key ring is sizable yet simple enough to go unnoticed…like keys tend to do.

The perfect time to try a trend? When you can find an off-the-runway look at an accessible price point. Talk about minimal risk, maximum reward. Style these slim cut utility pants in outfits that you’d otherwise wear with olive chinos for a little extra visual interest.

Whether you’re commuting to the office or picking up a few night courses, this wool and canvas backpack is a stunning option. If its spacious compartments and made-to-last build aren’t enough to sell you, I hope the utterly attractive design can seal the deal.

Simple Watch Company’s handsome timepiece harnesses my love of minimalist form boosted further by masterful function. The scratch-resistant face and rich leather strap epitomizes this balance all while being versatile enough to pair with any work or weekend get-up. Even better? If you’re deciding between a black or brown watch, this combination will soothe any color-matching woes.

Look like you’re going for gold, even if you’re just going for a coffee with these all-American kicks. The bright rubber out sole and Air-Sole heel are designed to look refined outside of the gym while also being a solid running shoe.

Fresh off of the fins of my first surf lesson, I’m especially enthusiastic about clinging to the last weeks of summer – even if it’s just through adventure-seeking lifestyle brands. A short sleeve button down like printed gem from Roark Revival is all you need for an endless summer aesthetic. Pro tip: Tightly roll the sleeves once or twice, then throw on colored chino shorts and slip-ons.
